One hundred years have passed since the Spellplague forever changed the magical and mysterious lands of Faerūn. Mighty empires fell and great cities toppled, leaving only monster-haunted ruins and survivors struggling to rebuild.
The city of Neverwinter, the Jewel of the North, seemed blessed by the gods. While the rest of the Sword Coast was devastated by the event, Neverwinter survived largely intact. But this was only a temporary reprieve from its inevitable doom. Nearly 75 years later, a volcanic eruption rained fire, ash and molten fury upon the city, annihilating everything in its wake.
Today, Neverwinter has restored much of its former glory. Lord Neverember of Waterdeep has taken the city under his protection and put forth a call to all adventurers and heroes of the Savage North to help rebuild Neverwinter in the hopes that one day he can lay claim to her throne and crown. But evil forces conspire in the dark places of the world, seeking to undermine all...
Forgotten Realms is my favourite DnD setting, or it was until the Spellplague nonsense brutally sodomised it. Regardless, very excited about this. Dungeons and Dragons Online never did much for me due to the setting, this has me interested.
One interesting feature is The Foundry, a way of adding user generated content to the game. Cryptic tried something similar to Star Trek Online with moderate success, I'm hoping they willget it right for this. If they really want a successul DnD MMO you need to have player generated content.
So, anyone else even vaguely interested in this?
